Of the can-can tendency. I noticed q
good many Americans smoking cigar
cites and walking about uneasily as If
they were ashamed to be seen at such
place, but ] have seen just a. many at
the Bullier, which is considered the
finest dance-hall or garden now In Paris
since the old Mabille has been destroyed.
1t is all the same whether 1t 10 the
Mabille, the Bullier or the Tivoli, the
plan works-there are three or four
women who get salary from the pro-
prietors to be there every night and do .
little fancy dancing. They seem to 60
through their performance automatically,
and while the crowd gathers around and
applauds them II they kick little high
or dance Q little exuberantly, they do
not seem to enter into It with the same
fervor or pleasure that the Germans do
with their simple quiet waltz.
The night was at the Tivoh there
were two girls who tried to earn their
wages, and once or twice really seemed
to warm up to the dance. There was
some high kicking, some showing OF
stockings and NO little applause from
the crowds around the set. There were
only four dancing, and two Of them were
very demure, as q sort Of contrast to the
two rather lively girls. The music
blared forth. and the two girls went
through the motions of the can-cau in
the same strain, and when 1t was over
they took their partners arms, sat down
in the garden and ordered some cognac
with absinthe. Va
The French do not care much for
beer, although they have what they call
''bock" there and sell it at the enormous
price Of about half glass for ten cents.
Very bad, too, It is, and no wonder they
do not care for 1t. Their great drink is
brandy and absinthe, and the people at
the Tivoh enjoy that o much as our
German friends Of the Tivoli In this city
do their lager. g

Why Novices Meet with 90 Much Trouble

why Novices Meet with 20 Much Trouble
While Hunting.
Novices are not always contented to be
treated as such. The boy who gets into
gymnasium for the first time is too likely to
think that he must attempt whatever he sees
others doing. Reckless of consequences, he
tries the heavy weights and parallel bars, and
pretty certainly he gets well hmed, if not
permanently injured. Courage and emula-
ion are good in their way, but can never
take the place of discretion and experience
The following tragical story of South African
life enforces this lesson, and illustrates at
the same time the folly of ''old hands in

DnHsDEN :--One would hardly call
Sunday in America . day 70 60 TO ball,
except to baseball; but in Germany Sun
day afternoon 10 the greatest Of ell the
days in the week for the sportive youth
and his young girl to trip the light fam
tastic and enjoy themselves drinking
beer.
In oil the large towns in Germany
there are innumerable dance-halls.
These are oil constructed on the same
plan, though, Of course, like everything
else, some are finer than others, larger,
better embellished, and have smoother
dancing floor. At all the shooting or
national festivals where crowd collects
there are always one or two dance-halls
temporized for the occasion, and always
crowded, The Germans love music and
dancing. Unlike the French people,
they are very staid in dancing, - they
are in oil their other amusements or oc-
cupstions. While the French like lively
and ct times exhilarating wsltzes, or the
famous can-can, the Germans are con-
tent with slow-measured step or waltz.
It was Sunday afternoon that to-
gether with two friends we were walk
ing through the rain in this city
when we heard the strain Of music
coming from one Of these halls. It
was about half-past four, and we were
( thinking that we would see something

In, paid sixty centimes for the three, or
Eve cents apiece, and got our admission

and on reaching the landing were met
BY flower-girl who tried to sell rs roses
for buttonhole. She was arrayed in
full evening costume, but, unlike the
French bouquetiers found in similar
places, she was exceedingly modest and
did not try to force herself upon US, ex-
cepting to ask us to buy her flowers, and
being met with refusal she retired be-
hind her little booth, and would not even
look at US. We went past the girls

minded me very much Of Harry
